@xianc78 or did it

@xianc78 sm64 could just be the biggest mass psychosis event of all time. There are people who remember it slightly differently. Breaking out of the matrix. Every copy is personalized.

@beardalaxy Best way to prove/disprove it:
>Buy a bunch of copies of SM64
>Dump the ROMS of all of them
>Hash them and see if the hashes are the same or different

@xianc78 unfortunately this doesn't take into account that Nintendo could have covered up the original versions of the games, swapping them all out with ones that are patched over, the only ones left untouched being from desolate 3rd world countries that cannot even effectively communicate with us. Even stray gamma rays have been known to affect cartridges. Wear and tear over the years could affect them in ways we can't even fathom. One child's tilted cartridge is another child's lingering memories of a game he was brainwashed to forget. The Nintendo Ninjas do exist and have power beyond what we may realize, the ability to show up at people's houses just being the tip of the iceberg. The only way to truly know is to break into the Nintendo vault to uncover their true nature.

In the end, all we can really trust are the people who made the game. How much can we trust them, though, given how hard they try to erase and bury their past? So many games, so many prototypes, either lost to time or in the hands of someone who cannot release the classified software out of fear of what might be done to him.

@xianc78 another thing to think about, depending on the way the copies were personalized, they could all contain the same hash. Perhaps the game used a different method of rearranging its own data on the fly, rather than being baked in. It would certainly be more cost effective to have it done that way. We have seen other people completely reprogram games on original hardware in real time, yet they would contain the same hash if dumped. It could store everything changed in memory, eviscerating it as it soon as it can. Maybe this functionality is even something they tried to remove but it still ends up slipping through the cracks every now and then, causing strange occurrences and anomalies...

The truth is out there.....
